This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time now, there has been conflict concerning the role in the global marketplace of certain agricultural or handcrafted products of specific geographical origin: whether they should come under trademark law (as favoured by common law countries such as the United States) or under the geographical indications (GI) system developed in France and subsequently promoted by the European Union (EU). At this moment, China is in the eye of the storm. Taking fully into account the legislative and judicial gaps in China’s compromised embrace of the GI concept, this book shows how the Chinese case brings to prominence fundamental issues relating to the functional dissimilarity between trademarks and GIs, the treatment of the terroir concept, the role of GIs in rural development, and the challenges of adopting the French and European model in other countries, especially in East Asia. Providing detailed information on how GIs are registered, protected, and managed in China, France, and the EU, the book includes such practical analysis as the following: comparison between the Chinese and European GI systems to highlight differences in essential elements for GI registration and protection; mistakes and errors arising from forcing the GI function into trademark law; the increasingly larger scope of EU GI protection, protection of collective marks containing GIs, and the extension of GI protection to handicrafts; who is responsible for the protection of each registered name and who can sue for infringement; and legislative options for future GI protection in China. Recognizing not only that GIs protect consumers against fraud and producers against unfair competition but also that the goals include the preservation of rural development, cultural heritage, and traditional knowledge, as well as environmental and ecological protection, this book provides a comprehensive reference on legal tools available for policymakers, legal practitioners, researchers, and local producers concerned with GI or trademark issues in China, France, or the EU. It will prove greatly helpful to corporate lawyers filing international registration applications and taking legal action. It will also be of inestimable value to officials in a variety of countries that are considering developing or improving systems to enhance the value of terroir products, and to academics interested in intellectual property law, trademark law, agriculture policy, GI legislation, or World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.

Download or read book Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights written by Carlos Correa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TRIPS Agreement is the most comprehensive and influential international treaty on intellectual property rights. It brings intellectual property rules into the framework of the World Trade Organization, obliging all WTO Member States to meet minimum standards of intellectual property protection and enforcement. This has required massive changes in some national laws, particularly in developing countries. This volume provides a detailed legal analysis of the provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, as well as elements to consider their economic implications in different legal and socio-economic contexts. This book provides an in depth analysis of the principles and of the substantive and enforcement provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, the most influential international treaty on intellectual property currently in force. It discusses the legal context in which the Agreement was negotiated, the objectives of their proponents and the nature of the obligations it created for the members of the World Trade Organization. In particular, it examines the minimum standards that must be implemented with regard to patents, trademarks, industrial designs, geographical indications, copyright and related rights, integrated circuits, trade-secrets and test data for pharmaceutical and agrochemical products. Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights: A Commentary on the TRIPS Agreement elaborates on the interpretation of provisions contained in said Agreement, in the light of the customary principles for the interpretation of international law. The analysis -which is supported by a review of the relevant GATT and WTO jurisprudence- identifies the policy space left to such members to implement their obligations in accordance with their own legal systems and public policy objectives, including in respect of complex issues such as patentability criteria, compulsory licenses, exceptions and limitations to copyright, border measures, injunctive relief and the protection of test data under the discipline of unfair competition.

This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage constitue le neuvième volume de la collection p®opriété intelle©tuelle – intelle©tual p®operty (www.pi-ip.ch). Il rassemble les contributions qui ont été rédigées à l’occasion de la Journée de Droit de la Propriété Intellectuelle (www.jdpi.ch) organisée le 11 février 2016 à l’Université de Genève sur le thème « Indications géographiques : Perspectives globales et locales /Geographical Indications : Global and Local perspectives ». Dans notre monde globalisé et connecté qui tend à annihiler frontières et distances géographiques, l’on pourrait penser de prime abord que les rattachements territoriaux des produits et services n’ont plus de sens et n’ont dès lors plus lieu d’être (protégés). Tel n’est assurément pas le cas. L’on doit bien au contraire constater que la globalisation des échanges et de l’économie est loin d’effacer le besoin d’ancrage géographique des produits et services pour les parties prenantes concernées, qu’il s’agisse des clients (peut-être de plus en plus) sensibles à l’origine des produits et services qu’ils consomment, des producteurs de biens et des fournisseurs des services concernés toujours à la recherche d’un avantage compétitif, mais aussi des États qui perçoivent eux aussi l’intérêt à se démarquer sur un marché global très concurrentiel. Outre sa puissance symbolique – qu’il suffise de mentionner ici la désignation « Swissness » ou « Suissitude » telle qu’elle résulte des nouvelles réglementations suisses –, un rattachement géographique peut incontestablement avoir une valeur économique considérable qui appelle ainsi une protection légale efficace. C’est à l’analyse de différents aspects internationaux, régionaux et locaux de cette large thématique que s’attachent les contributions qui composent le présent ouvrage. Que les auteurs de celles-ci trouvent ici l’expression de notre gratitude pour les remarquables réflexions qu’ils y ont exposées. Nos remerciements s’adressent aussi à M. Pierre Heuzé qui a une nouvelle fois très efficacement assumé les travaux d’édition de ce nouvel ouvrage de la collection.

Download or read book Intellectual Property Law in Switzerland written by François Dessemontet and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-11-20 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph provides a survey and analysis of the rules concerning intellectual property rights in Switzerland. It covers every type of intellectual property right in depth – copyright and neighbouring rights, patents, utility models, trademarks, trade names, industrial designs, plant variety protection, chip protection, trade secrets, and confidential information. Particular attention is paid throughout to recent developments and trends. The analysis approaches each right in terms of its sources in law and in legislation, and proceeds to such legal issues as subject matter of protection, conditions of protection, ownership, transfer of rights, licences, scope of exclusive rights, limitations, exemptions, duration of protection, infringement, available remedies, and overlapping with other intellectual property rights. The book provides a clear overview of intellectual property legislation and policy, and at the same time offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Switzerland will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative intellectual property law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linking traditional and local products to a specific area is increasingly felt as a necessity in a globalised market, and Geographical Indications (GIs) are emerging as a multifunctional tool capable of performing this and many other functions. This book analyses the evolving nature of EU sui generis GIs by focusing on their key element, the origin link, and concludes that the history of the product in the broad sense has become a major factor to prove the link between a good and a specific place. For the first time, this area of Intellectual Property Law is investigated from three different, although interrelated, perspectives: the history and comparative assessment of the systems of protection of Indications of Geographical Origin adopted in the European jurisdictions from the beginning of the 20th century; the empirical analysis of the trends emerging from the practice of EUGIs; and the policy debates surrounding them and their importance for the fulfilment of the general goals of the EU Common Agricultural Policy. The result is an innovative and rounded analysis of the very nature of the EU Law of GIs that, starting from its past, investigates the present and the likely future of this Intellectual Property Right. This book provides an interesting and innovative contribution to the field and will be of interest to GI scholars and Intellectual Property students, as well as anyone willing to gain a better understanding of this compelling area of law.
